About this event

Inclusivity is believed to impact the quality of governance, but how does that happen?

CoSteer has been part of the Good Governance Research Forum for over a year and has been exploring the relationships between governance and organisational culture.

 

At this, our 4th session, Perrin Carey, founder of CoSteer, presents new data and understandings emerging from their research, specifically –

  • How inclusivity appears connected to overall governance.
  • What elements of inclusivity show up as critical for high quality decision-making.
  • How AI is advancing our understandings of governance and its connection with organisational culture.

Background information

Governance is inherently very difficult to measure and the codification of corporate governance has also led organisations to slide towards a ‘tick box’ approach, despite the requirements for ‘comply or explain’ statements in certain countries.

The measures that do exist are simply not enough, and in fact, don’t really get at the heart of the question, “how well are both the organisation, and the people within the organisation, ‘being steered’ and how well are they ‘steering’?”.

Most measures of corporate governance focus on compliance related issues. Numerous rating models also seem to focus on the inputs of governance, such as the composition of boards and the separation of the CEO and chairman roles and diversity.

All admirable, however, Argüden (2010) argues that these measures simply do not pay sufficient attention to the quality of information, decision-making processes, nor do they link the effectiveness of governance to output measures such as the brand image, employee and customer satisfaction indices, or profitability and value creation.

We believe humans are at the centre of our organisations and our communities. Improve one and you improve the other. We explore empathy, ethical intelligence, and compassion and how they impact and improve organisational performance.
